The window shown and described is very simple and durable inconstruction, canA be cheaply manufactured, and at the Same time readilyswung into 4the room for cleaning or repairing pur oses, lwithoutremoving the sashes from t e window frame. When the Sashes are in theirusual vertical osition, they can be readily moved up and own, forVentilating and other purposes, the same as the ordinary sashes now inuse. It will also be noticed that in swinging the sashes B and C inwardinto the room or back into a vertical position, they do not interfere inthe least with outside fly screens or iron guards in windows providedwith such Screens or guards.
